Volkswagen has been increasing its model line-up during last few years very fast and continues to introduce new model concepts and actual production models with the same speed in the near future.
Volkswagen already has the small city car up! in works that made its debut at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. Production version of the up! will be available likely in 2010.
Auto Motor und Sport reports that VW is also planning another small city car below the up!, which will be positioned right at the Smart ForTwo. The car will come with a front-wheel drive and is based on a shortened version of the up! Power will come from a 1-liter diesel that delivers 50 hp. Most likely an electric version will also be available with lithium-ion batteries with a range around 65 miles. And if it only comes with the diesel engine, then you should not worry about filling the tank too often as it will get 117.6 mpg (2l per 100 km).
Stumble it!
